The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

"What else?"

"Actually, there are no celestial beings. Celestial beings, like your father, are also humans who escaped from Earth!"

The clones erupted in unison once again.

"Wow... Pfft!!"

Now it was Zi Yuan's turn to be speechless.

"What? You guys knew about this too?"

Song Gua shook his head.

"I don't know, or to be precise, I'm not sure."

Before meeting Qin Zheng, Song Gua would have believed that the so-called celestial being might really be an alien existing on Mars.

But now I know that I haven't traveled to another world, I'm still on Earth, just that time has been pushed back by 1000+, I'm not sure exactly how much.

In my time, there were no people on Mars.

How could a technologically advanced Martian suddenly appear?

Therefore, we can make the following assumption.

Martians are actually just humans who went up there.

They maintained the spirit of scientific and technological research characteristic of their time, constantly pushing the boundaries of science, and thus, a thousand years later, formed this technologically advanced civilization.

In fact, the celestial beings are just Earthlings; this has been hinted at long ago.

The returnists.

Interstellar faction.

Miss Butterfly is a member of the Return Faction. Why do they, the celestial beings, call themselves the Return Faction?

Where to go back?

Now, receiving this news from Ziyuan confirms everything.

They want to go back to Earth!

In contrast, Earth is now a blue planet.

Their technological level has basically remained at the level of their own era.

Even if there are some extraordinary things, an investigation will reveal that they have the support and help of celestial beings behind them.

It is precisely because a group of interstellar people who are unwilling to return to Earth have split off from the celestial beings that the situation has become complicated.

The two sides were both enemies and help each other.

Although both sides were at war, they exercised restraint on many occasions, which led to the war lasting so long.

Why did the celestial beings leave Earth in the first place? And why are they coming back now? If they're coming back, why did they leave in the first place?

After discovering this secret, why was the father so convinced that the heavenly beings were right and why did he want to defect?

Yue Sheng was the same; he was willing to be an undercover agent for the Heavenly People, so he must also believe that the Heavenly People were right.

What were the differences between humanity and the celestial beings and the Earthlings when they split into beings from the heavens?

Ziyuan's dragon head swayed straight.

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Yue Sheng didn't tell me everything either. His undercover work happened before he hatched me, so I didn't witness his journey."

Song Gua knew that this disagreement was the root cause of the ongoing war between the celestial beings and the Earthlings.

Therefore, someone must know.

"Why don't we just ask Miss Butterfly next time? I don't know if she's willing to tell us such a secret, and I'm afraid we'll have to go through that credibility issue again."

Song Gua calls Miss Butterfly whenever he needs something.

They hit me even when there's nothing wrong.

I call for no reason, just to ask about things I've encountered but can't figure out.

There are some things Miss Butterfly is willing to talk about.

There are some things she doesn't know, so naturally she can't say them.

There are some things she knows, but she's unwilling to say them, always citing a lack of confidence.

Just then, the voice of the clone who had stayed in Antarctica to build a snowman came through the regional network.

"Old scoundrel, the Rebels' Anti-Stars Plan is about to begin! Head to Burnett Island immediately, the rebels are holding a meeting!"

Burnett Island, an uninhabited island in the South Pacific, is outside the jurisdiction and scope of the federal government, making it a suitable meeting place for rebels.

"Brothers, let's go! No matter which organization is rebelling, we bandits will go and lend a hand!"

The closest clone to Burnett Island is also quite far from that place.

Considering that Ziyuan is still a small dragon, it would be quite difficult to use him for long-distance travel.

Song Gua simply switched places, went to the "Tang Ma Machine", and then released several clones to pilot directly over by plane.

The "Tangma Machine" can float directly in the air while maintaining a low power consumption mode.

Therefore, this fighter jet is usually parked over the ocean when there is no other activity.

Sometimes they are discovered by the Federation for no apparent reason.

Fortunately, the fighter jet's warning system was very sensitive, always able to give early warnings, so the bandits flew it all over the world, and the Federation always lost track of it.

On the way, Song Gua received news from Da Congming.

"Boss, that mysterious person has sent another message."

"The mysterious person? Oh, the one who told us Du Minghui intended to eliminate the Shi family, and who even told us Zhang Erhe's schedule during the concert?"

This mysterious person is truly mysterious.

Because phone cards are not registered under real names in this era.

Song Gua's previous life's programming skills were insufficient to uncover the identity of this mysterious informant.

I also asked Miss Butterfly.

But Miss Butterfly couldn't find out either.

So mysterious.

"What did he say this time?"

"Project Stars may be a trap. If we take any action on it, we must be careful to avoid falling into it."

Song Gua frowned slightly and pondered for a moment.

"It's alright. The Anti-Star Project is led by the resistance. We are at most henchmen in this project. Just be careful. We'll share this information with the organization at the rebel conference so they can be more cautious."

Soon.

Song Gua discovers that "himself," who is participating in recruit training in Jinghai City, has also received new intelligence.

……

Suburbs of Jinghai City, the Second Army of the Allied Forces' new recruit training camp.

Today, all training sessions have concluded.

Of the more than 50,000 new recruits in the Second Army that started out, only 30,000 remain.

Those 20,000-plus people all left voluntarily because they couldn't endure the hardship of training.

Of course, there's no need to lose money.

The Federation didn't expect that such a large-scale recruitment drive could train everyone.

Even though it's only 30,000 people, it's still quite an astonishing number.

After all, the entire Second Army only has 100,000 men, and this wave of new recruits is almost a third of the total number.

The queue was completely silent.

Three months of rigorous training tamed the impulsive personalities of Yuwen Hao and Xu Kai, turning them into well-behaved individuals.

The reason these two persisted was entirely because they were aiming for better benefits later on.

In addition, being young and physically stronger than older people, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

"stand at attention--"

On the high platform, the head instructor gave a command, and the sound of leather boots clashing throughout the field was like a mountain roaring and a tsunami crashing.

"Today, we will depart for Dianjiang Mountain to participate in Project Qunxing. Before we depart, please welcome the Commander-in-Chief of our Second Army to deliver a mobilization speech!"

A man with rather long hair stood in the spot where the head instructor had just been.

This man looked refined and scholarly, unlike Zhang Erhe who exuded a murderous aura.

Judging by his appearance, he looks to be at most forty years old, but his actual age is probably more than that.

He wasn't wearing a military uniform, but rather a regular shirt and trousers, clean and tidy.

"Hello everyone, I am Luo Ji, the commander of the Second Army."

I'm sure many of you have heard about me from those veterans during training.

But I suspect they don't have a good reputation.

Some people will definitely say I'm lazy, that I almost never discipline anyone;

Or perhaps I have a messy private life, I'm quite old and still unmarried, and I'm still dating young girls;

They even called me a deserter, saying I often led an entire army away, euphemistically calling it a strategic retreat.

Today, I want to tell you that what they said is actually... true!

Hahaha!!"
